Topic: Magpierss stopped working since sme 7.4

[Radar69]

Hi all,

I have a server running for years with magpierss in one of the ibays
After the last update to 7.4 the magpierss stopped working.

 MapieRSS requires a recent PHP 4+ (developed with 4.2.0)
     with xml (expat) support.
         
         Optionally:
           * PHP5 with libxml2 support.
           * cURL for SSL support
           * iconv (preferred) or mb_string for expanded character set support

Regards
Pierre

Since it is a PHP application I think you might find a clue why it does not work by reading this: http://wiki.contribs.org/PHP#Display_Error_Messages , with the current information you make troubleshooting very hard as I, as well as others, do not have crystal ball with a USB or network connection

Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch http://www.lelezard.com/feed.xml (HTTP Error: connection failed () in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/sosmonordi/html/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc on line 241

I'm trying to figure out, since my code run fine on others isp.

I tought it was cache related at first.

but cant figure out what may cause that
magpierss use smarty plugin and snoopy lib

http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy

Are you able to access the URL using elinks or wget from your servers console as root user?

[Radar69]

i can access the file with wget
I think it's related to the cache not avail.
i copied the directory on another server (not sme) and it worked first time
basically what that script does is read an rss and make a copy of the data in a cache directory and from the webpage i recover the cached data.

And what folder did you configure as cache folder?

my chache is in /html/cache of my ibay
chmod 775

Do a search on Google and you will find this error message spread over many websites. It is a problem with a particular version of Magpie when it cannot access the RSS feed - it just carries on as though it could, which results in errors further on rather than a properly handled exception.

Questions I have not seen asked:

- If you clear the cache, does it still do the same thing?
- Does it have the same error with all feeds, rather than just this one feed?

The message you are getting is a 'warning'. If warnings are now being displayed when previously they were not, then you probably need to change some PHP settings at the head of your application.

Actually, problem solved!

I noticed i had issues with the http request from the server.

And the services contrib was gone.

I reinstalled the services contrib with yum. After reboot everything went back to normal. i didn't investigate much in the logs but so far so good.
